“…Commonly, EA is adopted by organizations to facilitate enterprise integration issues and reduce complexities (Chen, Doumeingts, and Vernadat 2008;Henderson and Venkatraman 1993;Banaeianjahromi and Smolander 2016b), to increase quality and responsiveness to the ever changing environment (Huysmans and Verelst 2013), for better institutionalization (Chung et al 2009), for better decision making (Jensen, Cline, and Owen 2011), and to increase business performance (Boucharas et al 2010;Van Steenbergen et al 2011) . Well implemented EA is both stable and flexible which assist an organization to innovate and change (Rouhani et al 2014).…”

Enterprise architecture (EA) is widely employed to reduce complexity and to improve business-information technology (IT) alignment. Despite the efforts by practitioners and academics in proposing approaches to smoothen EA development, it is not easy to find a fully successful EA. Because EA development is a complex endeavour, it is important to understand the obstacles that practitioners face during EA development. With the grounded theory, we studied how obstacles during EA development emerged from practitioners' point of view in 15 large enterprises. The study identifies lack of communication and collaboration as the core obstacle that can explain many other obstacles. Communication and collaboration were also harmed by other perceived EA development obstacles, including lack of knowledge and support inside organization and issues imposed by external parties, hesitation in training personnel, setting too ambitious goals, constant change of management, (lack of) clarity in EA development process, lack of budget, forcing personnel to adopt EA, lack of motivation, organizational culture, and organizational structure deficiencies. The lack of communication and collaboration caused several undesired effects to organizations, such as being unable to set common goals and achieve a shared understanding, personnel's distrust, endangered EA governance, lack of innovation capability, lost competitive edge, and ineffective EA outputs. The study highlights that organisations should improve their communication and collaboration before embarking on EA to encounter fewer obstacles. We provide four recommendations for practitioners to improve communication and collaboration in EA development.

“…The concepts of business strategy and EA are so tightly coupled that EA basically cannot exist without a business strategy [1]. As many companies are starting to implement EA, the study by [11] the implementation process is not the last step of an EA project, but companies need to evaluate to ensure that implementing subsequent EA projects benefits from the experience of previous projects [12], [13]. This is called a post implementation review (PIR) and this process is very helpful [14], [15].…”

Several enterprises implemented enterprise architecture (EA) projects to align business and information technology (IT) strategies. The evaluation process is needed to ensure the implementation of EA projects provides effectiveness, efficiency, and feasibility of EA information systems (IS) and assesses previous project experience to avoid future EA project risks. The study aims to present a systematic literature review (SLR) of the models and evaluation methods used or developed, especially in the field of EA research. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 21 articles were selected for review. The results of the study present an overview of the models and methods used as well as new approaches developed for EA evaluation as well as information based on approaches related to models and methods identified as organizing information and data analysis to broaden future research insights. The literature review also provides additional simple theories related to the implications and techniques of the identified models and methods. The study contributes to company stakeholders to encourage the implementation of EA, identify improvements and enhancements to EA projects as well as further references and insights for practitioners and researchers regarding EA evaluation as an effort to assess the success of achieving enterprise goals.

“…According to the above problems, Energy Company's gasoline distribution processes need an accurate IT-based monitoring system. Enterprise Architecture (EA) becomes a strategy plan for enterprises or big companies to align their business and Information Technology (IT) [1]. EA design can be used by Energy Company to compare its business process, with and/or without IT.…”

Energy Company is an enterprise that involved in the productions and sales of energy, including fuel extraction, manufacturing, refining and distribution. Currently, the company has problems in its gasoline distribution system to their oil merchants. Those are oil merchants that often run out of stock unexpectedly and un-synced reports because of untracked distributed gasoline amounts. Those problems need to be solved, because they are linked with the business process of Energy Company in general. This research's objective is to have Enterprise Architecture (EA) design for the gasoline distribution monitoring system, which will use the Internet of Things (IoT) technology implementation. Research data, among others problems and requirements for the gasoline distribution monitoring system, are obtained with observation and interview methods. This research has discovered EA design for the gasoline distribution monitoring system using IoT technology.
